Re: TV Guide - 15 shows we want to come back

There's only two on that list I'd care about, Deadwood and Firefly. Firefly already received Serenity to tie it up so that one's fine with me. I wouldn't mind seeing Deadwood get a movie or something to wrap up the series. The only problem at this point is it's already been kind of a long time.

One not on the list I wouldn't mind seeing something done with is Bored to Death. It was a great show while it lasted and I was really disappointed when HBO cancelled it. It'd be nice to get a movie or something for it too.

The problem with Heroes is that the first season brought them together and resulted in a climax where there were basically (at least) two uber-powerful individuals. Due to budget and story constraints, they had to find increasingly inane ways of either stranding them somewhere else or otherwise gimping their powers. So everyone wanted to see cool future Hiro and super powerful Peter, and instead got stupid plots and brain damage and memory loss and all kinds of crap.

Since they went that way by having a really powerful (good guy) I hated when they took his powers away since they already went there, and having his powers removed in the first place was flawed among other issues within that story. There is a reason comics tend to avoid such a power set, TOO POWERFUL and makes it hard to write for, sure they have characters that can take a power at a time or for a limited time, mimic if close enough and then it goes away etc.. I like watching it yet I imagine from a story telling point that they should have never gone there. Hiro is insanely powerful for having just his own ability.

The viewers could really tell when they wrote themself into a corner. Too much Sylar flip flopping as well, normally you do not need the villain on that much, or good guy....or villain......or good.....make up your mind show!

Yes.

My vote (though it had a pretty good S1 finale that turned into a pleasant enough series finale) would go to Journeyman. Also I kind of wish Life had had a chance to wrap things up since they left the S2 story lines majorly hanging!

"Life" had a decent enough series finale. Didn't feel like they were leaving us hanging.

I would love to see a "Keen Eddie" movie.

Re: TV Guide - 15 shows we want to come back

I finally read the list.

Hell, yes - make a "Deadwood" movie ASAP!

I think they polled their readers.

Re: TV Guide - 15 shows we want to come back

The two shows from that list that I watched were Deadwood and Veronica Mars. I really liked both shows while they were on, but let them stay dead. Any revival would be a waste, and that includes the VM kickstarter.

Now if they were to bring back The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. on the other hand........

Re: TV Guide - 15 shows we want to come back

For the most part I tend to feel shows need at least a tv movie if they cancelled them without an ending. If a show has a seven year run and retires I do not see a problem, is more good? Sure, I do like the show, however there is a time something good can end.

What they need to stop doing is cancelling new programs on cliffhangers, that is the main reason I hardly want to start watching anything new until it has been proven.
